I am due to complete a contract on Friday this week. Last Thursday, my manager asked me if I would consider staying on to fill in for another manager when they go on maternity leave in July. In the time between now and then, he asked if I would continue overseeing my existing project for 3 days a week and use the other two days to train ready to take on the new position, which would be a fixed-term role for 12 months rather than a daily rate. I told him I would do this and on that basis, turned down a second interview for another job as I don't want to mess anyone around.
The very next day, right in front of me, he discussed with another colleague about someone else he would like to interview for the same role. It was like I wasn't there, or that our discussion hadn't taken place.
I was so embarrassed and can't believe someone would deal with it in such a way showing absolutely no respect whatsoever for me.
He came to me with the offer, I didn't approach him.
He's set up a meeting with me tomorrow at 11am which I assume is to discuss the matter with me. I'm pleased I've had the weekend to calm down but I'm still really angry at his lack of professionalism and want him to know that without burning any bridges.
I'd appreciate your advice on how to deal with him. Thank you.
